Do you obsess over politics? Are you tired of the same-old horse race coverage? Do you enjoy writing or making videos?

Then you might be exactly who we're looking for.

OffTheBus,
a renegade citizen media effort co-sponsored by the Huffington Post and
NewAssignment.net and a nationwide network of citizen journalists, is
looking for campaign correspondents. Responsible for covering and
examining presidential campaign and grassroots activity, especially in
their own backyards, our correspondents will provide an alternative
look at the upcoming election. Correspondents will also be featured
prominently on OffTheBus, as well as on the Huffington Post.

A
bit more about us. Our goal is to provide the most authentic account of
the 2008 presidential election contests. Unlike traditional political

the poll tell anything of value about the real stories behind an
election cycle. Instead, we think you—with the unique perspective you

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristin Gorski. I recently earned my doctorate (EdD) in instructional technology and media. My research focuses on technology and literacies, writing in digital spaces, and how media literacy may support academic literacy (among other incredibly interesting topics). On occasion, I’m also a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). I started it in blogging's heyday (2006) and still post to it, time permitting. If you'd like to collaborate on a project, have writing/technology/creativity info to share, or want to say, "Hi," contact me at kgwritenow (at) yahoo dot com.
